Meet the breeder

I'm Kyle and Stephanie M., the breeder behind Elegant Dachshunds-Eledox located in Washington, NC. At Eledox, we raise dachshunds in our home, where they are treasured members of our family. Our dogs sleep in our beds, not kennels, and are lovingly socialized every day. We take pride in matching our puppies with caring homes and consider every puppy buyer a valued part of our extended family.

Q. & A. with Kyle and Stephanie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We simply love this breed! I began to study Dachshund conformation and temperament according to AKC standards about 15 years ago. We began to search for a foundation pair of Dachshunds, and the rest is history!
  • What makes your program special?

    Our Dachshunds don’t live in kennels or cages. They live in our house on our couches, in our beds, on our porch, and wherever they feel happy. We believe that the Dachshund temperament is unique and should be preserved, so we always take this into account when pairing dogs. Furthermore, we breed for conformation, not color or pattern. Dachshunds are hunters and we want to preserve that.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include smooth and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable, piebald, cream, red, chocolate and tan, chocolate and cream, black and tan, black and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Our experience with Elegant Dachshunds was wonderful!! We love our little guy Smartie. He will be two yrs old Aug 23rd. We are definitely going to use them again for a playmate for our guy. He's everything we wanted! Stephanie was great and we were close, and they met us halfway. Easy trip and easy process!!

    Kyle and Stephanie responded promptly when I inquired about the puppy. I was able to get my mom the dog of her dreams and she is fitting in perfectly. I would highly recommend Kyle and Stephanie.

    I want to say I never owned any animals and never thought I would but I got Tiger ( the lighter one). I fell in love with him he is the most sweetest dog you will ever meet. Kyle and Stephanie are just so wonderful and took their time in their busy lives to write back and FaceTime us with the puppies. They did everything to help and make it an easy process. So that being said I got another puppy (the darker one) and named her Dixie ( different parents) she is a sweet girl full of energy and love. If they didn’t retire Tigers parents I will take another :) very good breeders :)

    Kyle and Stephanie were remarkable! I was new to this experience and they so kindly helped me every step of the way. They were responsive to any questions I had and were beyond accommodating. Our new pup is so sweet, well tempered, and a beautiful dachshund. I would highly recommend Kyle and Stephanie and plan to use Eledox again in the future!

    Kyle and Stephanie are amazing. They are informative, kind, and generous. Kyle was very sweet when we met him to pick up Macho (now Bruno) He is so well adjusted and pee pee pad trained. We are completely in love and so happy. Such a great experience!

    Kyle and Stephanie were wonderful to work with when making sure we picked a healthy, happy dachshund puppy! We were able to have a video call to see the puppies and they were kind enough to meet us halfway to pick our sweet girl up. She has such a wonderful temperament: curious, sweet, and just a little stubborn as dachshunds tend to be! We are very happy and thank you for responsibly breeding such outstanding pups!
